@MiketheSnow which forums do you get insight from ….

With some talk on here about how NZ deal with the blitz defence it will be interesting to see how England's defence goes. It was beginning to come together for Felix Jones but he has left and we now have Jo ElAbd who is promising to build on Jones' work. Let's hope for evolution rather than revolution. Having just gone through it once we don't have the time for the latter.

I don't think in this entire show the Breakdown team mentioned a single England player by name. Arrogance, ignorance or both?
I know you have to pump your own car's tyres up but this show is beyond average
It’s a show which is tries to be high on style low on substance.
It’s not a show for serious rugby analysis
For analysis, Aotearoa Rugby Pod is much better. I was just watching earlier, James Parsons in particular is quite insightful. He didn't think we played great vs Japan, wanted to see us be more direct

God i hope it's Roigard even if he wasn't exactly amazing on Saturday.
So do I. Ratima to start with Roigard on the bench to give him game time. Keep TJP as injury cover.
I also have a sneaking suspicion Ratima will be the 1st choice 9 by next year with Roigard pushing him all he way. Nice position to be in.

@MiketheSnow Will Greenwood is good. Gavin Muirs at the Daily Telegraph is okay. But yeah, beyond that you're going to learn much more these days from specialist Rugby content providers
Keo and Zels on SA Rugby Mag are the best.
They know all the players, even youth players coming through. They take an interest in the opposition.
I never get bored listening to them.
And they actually have some "takes", as opposed to the fence sitting we get served up in NZ.

Yeah, he is really good to listen. I agreed with him but the I wondered if they don’t want to play a more direct style to give England a game to analyse so close to playing them

Yeah, he is really good to listen. I agreed with him but the I wondered if they don’t want to play a more direct style or gameplan close to what we are trying to play against England, so we don’t give England a game to analyse

Tubby Barnes firing some early shots. I don't see the ABs beating the rush defence with BB at 1st 5.
Agree with pretty much all of what he said to be honest.

Only in the final quarter.

@sparky who believes they are that good?
They aren't as shit as being made out on here, but they aren't amazing either.
we are strong favourites against England. So there's that - now we have to execute

Think most of the starting side picks itself. Big question is who takes the last back position I reckon.
EDG/Taylor/Lomax
Barrett/Vaa'i
Sititi/Savea/Cane
Ratima/?
J Barrett/Ioane
Clarke/?/?B Barrett and Jordan will take two of those spots, where they play depends on who fills the other spot. Suspect it will be Reece on the right wing, but could easily be Perofeta at 15 or DMac at 10.
